E.G. Oblique Graph – Complete Oblique (2xLP)

Description

2015 repress. Limited to 300 copies. Originally released on vinyl in 2006 as a reissue of a 2002 double CDR. This double LP contains the earliest musical works by Bryn Jones aka Muslimgauze, originally released under the moniker E.g Oblique Graph. An important, must-have document of a nascent artist’s first steps towards technical and musical mastery. This material was recorded between 1981 and 1983 and released on Jones’s Kinematograph Tapes and Bourbonese Qualk’s Recloose Organisation in extremely limited tape and vinyl editions. Bryn Jones was a highly prolific British ethno-electronica and experimental musician who was influenced by conflicts in the Muslim world, with an emphasis on Israel and Palestine. With almost 200 albums released in less than two decades under the name Muslimgauze, Jones successfully established a unique and extraordinary soundscape by combining Middle Eastern, African, Indo-Pak, and Afghani atmospheres alongside heavily phased drones and colliding rhythms. Jones’s wide-ranging influence can be seen in the work of such contemporary artists as Shackleton and Vatican Shadow. TRACK LIST:A1. Fall Into Glass (2:20)A2. Merge (4:52)A3.
